Aaron Eckhart to Start "I, Frankenstein"

We've been hearing about a big screen adaptation of the "I, Frankenstein" graphic novel around two years, and now comes word that Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) has been cast as the lead character, Adam Frankenstein.

"I, Frankenstein" brings together classic monster characters, including Frankenstein's Monster, the Invisible Man, Dracula and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, in a contemporary film noir setting. The Monster, for example, has evolved, learned how to control his anger and now acts as a private investigator. Dracula, meanwhile, is a kingpin of crime, and the Invisible Man is a secret operative.

The new movie is written by Stuart Beattie (GI Joe, 30 Days of Night) and is set to hit theaters on February 22nd, 2013. Check out some previously released concept art below.
